When I got home there was blood on the door.
|
I saw you lying on the kitchen floor.
|
I ran down the hall and when I saw what he did
|
and found our little bitty baby lying dead in her crib.
|
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
|
trying to blow this place into outer space.
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
|
I didn't bother picking up the phone.
|
I'm gonna get there first, I want you all alone.
|
There's gonna be blood on the wall and a ?
|
Your scripture won't save you when my gun's in your mouth.
|
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
|
trying to blow this place into outer space.
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
|
I was eighteen when I first came here.
|
Me and my brother trying to disappear.
|
He chose the profit, baby, I chose you.
|
From that day I feared what he could do.
|
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
|
trying to blow this place into outer space.
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
|
I took the corner then I gunned it hard.
|
I drove my truck into your front yard.
|
You came out running but I was too fast.
|
I took out your legs and dropped you in the grass.
|
There were people outside, I heard somebody scream.
|
My whole life became a movie screen.
|
I remembered us jumping on our momma's bed.
|
She was yelling be careful or you'll bump your head.
|
I put my gun up under your chin.
|
My hand was shaking so I dug it in.
|
You started laughing, said I understand.
|
You wish you couldn't but I know you can.
|
You can.
|
|
There's a black wind blowing.
|
Oh, there's a black wind blowing.
|
There's a black wind blowing outside our gates
|
trying to blow this place into outer space.
